Donald Trump Seeks to End the Diversity Visa Lottery, Instead Reward High Skilled Immigrants

February 19, 2019 By The Editors

The President’s proposed new immigration framework will end the grab-bag diversity lottery that has awarded valuable visa’s to random, unskilled people from across the third world for no good reason. President Trump’s plan is to end that system and instead to speed up the process for high skilled H1-B applicants. News18 reports:

US President Donald Trump’s immigration framework will end the diversity lottery visa to help reduce green card backlog of high-skilled workers, the White House said today amid growing demands by Indian H-1B visa holders to remove the per country-limit on its allotment.

Indian-Americans, most of whom are highly skilled and come to the US mainly on H-1B work visas are the worst sufferers of the current immigration system which imposes a seven percent per country quota on allotment of green cards or permanent legal residency.

As a result, the current wait period for Indian skilled immigrants for the green card can be as long as 70 years. Over the last one week, many Indian skilled immigrants gathered in Washington DC from various parts of the US to ask the Trump Administration and Congress to remove this major anomaly in the immigration system.

“President Trump’s framework would end the visa lottery programme and reallocate some of the visas to help reduce the backlog of high-skilled, employment-based immigrant cases,” the White House said in a fact sheet titled ‘ending the economic harm caused by our immigration system’.

Later in the evening, Trump called for ending the visa lottery system. “Time to end the visa lottery. Congress must secure the immigration system and protect Americans,” he tweeted.

The White House said Trump favoured a merit-based immigration system, which attracts the best and the brightest from across the world.
